• Ah another good question.

    The right question is why B.B. is so high already?

    They were at that height so the clip and strap pedals is less likely to scrap the grounds.

    With clipless, you can go lower, and still be fine, moreso, you can go extremely low and still be fine.

    It’s only when you go off road you might want it s little high but I didn’t have any problem with a bike that have barely 250mm from centre of B.B. to ground (normal is 270mm).

  • They were at that height so the clip and strap pedals is less likely to scrap the grounds.

    I doubt bikes are designed around pedal convenience dude...
    Saying that...did forget about lower BB when converted to 650 and did strike a couple times.

    Agree, but you can see how a designer may have this in consideration in designing the geometry of the bike.
